Rod,

Thank you - your efforts have been much appreciated. For me they have produced results.

Enjoy your semi-retirement.

Debbie,

Thank you - history was not my favourite subject and I was wondering if it could have been British Forces serving in Canada. That ought to make my searching easier through the military...

Peter,

Thanks for that. My search on Christopher Elvin on that link found him discharged in the period 1825-1848 aged 39 having served in the Royal Artillery. That was the only result from the...

I've had a look at Ancestry records for Canada, including military, but gained nothing so am now looking for a little guidance please. The LDS site doesn't give me any Canadian info either.

Sorry my reply has been hit by the duplication 'bug'. However, all the info is there you just need to remove the duplicate parts.

I haven’t used the Somerset Archives as my research is based on Lincolnshire but my partner Chris recommends the following which she has used :-

DaveM,

Many thanks for that link. Looks like a strong possibility as my father says that Fred did own a farm in Canada.

Once I have a little more free time I will follow this up and have a...

I've managed to obtain a little more information just in case this may help someone recognise the family I am looking for.

Frederick Donner/Donnor married Rose (date not known but probably...

I would also gently query what the 13 year old does on the PC.


I have just helped to clean out a friend's family PC because it was clogged with spyware and running very slowly. There didn't...

Agree with Rod - online games. May sound and seem innocent but they often disguise nasties.

Mary,

In the 1891 census I have found a Johanna Kennedy born about 1829 in Limerick. She was living in St. Luke, East Finsbury, London as a widow with daughter Bridget who looks to be aged 24 at...

Hi Mary,

Mary Kennedy born Fulham about 1876 shows in the 1901 census as being in St. Michael's Convent, Waterlooville in Hampshire. I have a copy of the census page. If you PM me with your email...

This sounds like the sort of scam that often tries to tell you that you have spyware on your PC and that they will sell you a program to get rid of it. Linking to their site usually downloads all...

The William Hammants on the Ancestry U.S. Census reports do not tie in with the birth in Fulham 1892. I have looked through the Immigration Passenger lists and there are a couple of William Hammants...

I could have a look through Ancestry for you but would need more info such as place and date of birth, was he married or single in 1901 (depends on his age of course) and anything else that would...

There is another one which seems to rear its head just before each Christmas (since 2003 at least) which has an attachment purporting to be Jamie Oliver's Cookbook 2.

The attachment does not...

I've just started research on Fred, an uncle of my father's, who emigrated from England to the New World in the early 20th Century. My Dad's memory is failing a bit now but he remembers Fred being a...

Agnes,

Thank you for the Ellis Island information - I didn't know that it existed and it has just solved a problem for me.

I have been trying to follow 2 Donners who emigrated to the U.S. in...

Mike,

Thanks for the info. As I've not needed to do any memorial searching I wasn't aware of this site. Now I am aware of it and of the fact that they need more information I can add quite a few...

The following extract is taken from www.yorkminster.org

"York Minster is a Church of England cathedral that seeks to serve the Mission of God in the Diocese and Province of York"

This...

I always thought Minster and Cathedral were the same but different ways of describing the building. I know that Lincoln Cathedral is sometimes referred to as the Minster in local papers etc.

The...

My memory may be failing me (I'm 58) but I'm sure I remember the same as MarkJ in that, in Lincolnshire, Halloween was not allowed to pass without action but it was always fairly low key and involved...

Ed,

I've just put an example of one CD I have created for family onto a website for you to have a quick gander.
Using the icons at top left you can change view between indexes, navigable tree,...

I forgot I shouldn't make the post too long in order to avoid the repetition bug. Sorry about that.

Should you have any problems making the Genopro report (if you decide to follow that route)...

I have produced exactly what you want but it is not entirely straightforward.

Use GenoPro Beta 2 (latest version can be downloaded for free at http://www.genopro.com/beta ). Import your gedcom....
